My Seed Is A Promise!

Genesis 3:13-15, 1:29; John 1:1-3, 1:10-14

We are walking in today:  My Seed Is A Promise!



Genesis 3:13-15
13) And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 14) And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15) And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.  After the fall of man, God promised a seed.  A seed that would bruise thy head and he will bruise thy heel.  God was speaking to satan, just after the fall so it is satan's head that will be bruised and satan shall bruise the heel of the seed.  The question then is, who or what is this seed?  What is the purpose of the promise seed?  To find the answer we have to start at the beginning of time at the creation of the heavens and the earth, when God created man.  Man was created to have fellowship with God and to rule over the earth as God's agent.  In all of God's creation, only man was created to have fellowship with Him.  God and Adam would meet on a regular basis and fellowship together.  He commanded them in the garden to be fruitful and to multiply to fill the earth. In the garden of Eden, man was supplied with everything that He needed.  Genesis 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.  We all remember the story of Adam and Eve and the fall in the garden of Eden.  There is some good news in all of this, God promised a seed--Jesus Christ who would not only pay the price for the sin, so that man could again be in fellowship with God, but He would provide a new spirit man and eternal life--fellowship with God.  This promise seed will destroy the works of the devil  and provide a way for man to have fellowship with God by giving, man a new spirit, which we call being born again, spiritually.  As we proceed through the old testament, it gives many details on the line of the promised seed.  We can follow that promise seed from Genesis to Malachi.  The old testament gives many details  of the seed that was to come and who He is!  The promised seed, in Genesis 3:15, became flesh and blood--John 1:1-3 1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2) The same was in the beginning with God.
3) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
  As, God for told of His death, burial, and resurrection--all this was to pay the penalty of sin and to bring man into right standing with God.  John 1:10-14  10) He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11) He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13) Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.  The word became flesh and dwelt among us!  The promise is a seed, Jesus Christ is the seed.  The good news is that God has provided promise seed.  Those that are of the old testament and had great faith, in the promised seed were saved.  Those today who have faith in the promise seed, Jesus Christ also are saved.  And also receive a new spirit.  One day we will receive an incorruptible body because of the promised seed. 
I don't know about you but I am excited that it is seedtime and harvest.  He gives increase to the seed.  He comes back to tell us today that, your seed is a promise.  He has promised to never leave us nor forsake us!  He got up with all power of heaven and earth in His hands.  He went to hell and took back the keys!  God has promised us, we have to walk it out!  We have a seed of promise!  Look at Isaac, he was a child of promise!  Keep getting up early seeking Him first!  Speak to God about it, tell Him thank You, for the promise seed.  The seed that had to go into the ground to cleanse us from our sins, then to rise again, springing forth with righteousness!  Fiveamprayer you know that the Lord delivers us out of all of our afflictions.  God is true, let every man be a liar!  Keep standing on His promises, they will come to pass.  Seedtime and harvest.  It is the seed that has gone before us making the crooked things straight!  The devil is under out feet, we have restored dominion and authority!  Tell yourself this morning that my seed has a promise!  Look to God to make all things possible!  Thank You Lord for sending us Your daily bread.  We will collect seeds of promise.  Look at all that Christ has done to put us back in right standing.  That we are able to have a restored relationship.  We shall reap the harvest if we faint not.  We must watch and pray.  He is our Lily of the Valley and the Bright and Morning Star!  Let us be not weary in well doing.  Lord we ask for Your forgiveness due to not trusting You.  Thank You Lord that we are forgiven with no condemnation--teach us how to forgive like You!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: Thank You God for sending a seed of promise!!  Thank You God!


Welcome to the overflow...

They that hunger and thirst for His righteousness shall be filled.  Though our beginning was small, our latter days are greatly increased!  That is the kind of God that we serve.  You can walk in liberty, because Jesus held captivity captive.  Be steadfast and unmovable.  The word of God is not a book full of rules, it is a bag full of seeds from God.  On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand!  Thank You and have a blessed day!  Visit us on facebook, it will encourage you!
